We are trying to install into a prefix, any absolute path would not necessarily be writeable at build/test time. e.g. if Python is configured with --libdir=/usr/lib/$(MULTIARCH)/ during a Debian build.

What's the motivation here? Is there an issue where this is discussed?

The motivation here is that this test fails in Debian's package build, because we set --libdir (to a multiarch path) in our configure. It didn't seem worth an issue, it's just an oversight in the test (that also applies to a few other potential configure flags, but this is probably good enough).
